The acoustic hall is particularly valuable, and even nowadays it is the venue of gathering of the music youth and the place of live concert activities. It is known as the most acoustic if not the only really acoustic hall in Belgrade. That is why it is the concerts of the most famous musicians in the world are organized in that hall.[2] Except for the great hall, there is also a small hall on the first floor, where various lectures and promotions are held every day. Usually, these lectures are organized in cycles, and are held on certain days. Kolarac People's University is also important as the representative of the idea of endowment which remained preserved up to present time, and which enriched Belgrade for some of the most representative buildings.

The bookshop "Aleksandar Belić" is oriented towards selling books from humanistic and social sciences. The People's University Building was declared as the cultural monument (The Decision, "The Official Gazette of the City of Belgrade", no. 23/84).[3]
